Goats!

The grazing of goats in our meadows has been approved by the CIC so we now need to organise the meadows to receive them. We will need a band of volunteers to help set up and look after the goats while they are with us. 

If you would like to take part there will be a gathering by the allotments on Wednesday 29th Sept at 6.30pm where Peter will outline what needs to be done.  If you would like to be involved but can’t make it please email and we will get back to you with an update.

Ye-Ha! Hoedown fantastic

We had a fantastic time at the Western Hoedown on 11th September and the weather looked kindly on us! There was an afternoon of entertainment from The Flaming Feathers giving us the Can Can, to Lucy Lost-It teaching circus skills to the children. Many of us enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with neighbours in the sunshine or try our skills in tin can alley. After a buffet from Ivy’s Cafe we danced the night away to the amazing For The Record.

An amazing day – thanks to all who made it happen.

Hay making time

hay bales in autumn sunshine

The meadows will be cut for hay sometime over the next couple of days and then the cut hay will be turned and raked before being baled. The complete process will take 7 – 10 days so please keep clear of the tractor when walking, and keep all dogs on a lead when the tractor is working.

Thank you!
